I’m not too familiar with the NYC market, pls help. Interviewing for a senior copywriter role at a healthcare agency. Was told the avg salary for the role is 85-90. Seems low, right? If we get to an offer stage, what should I be shooting for? 6 years experience.

lol that’s a joke, you could get 125 for Sr CW in NYC FOR pharma right now with your 6 years… but if they’re starting that low and telling you that’s the average THEY see, ask 115 and be happy if they go up to 110. They’re kidding themselves with that number though.

I’d say 130k.

Is that 6 years in pharma? Any oncology? Those writers make bank. Why not go freelance?

Non Pharma roles at most large agencies in NYC are 90-120 for Seniors.

When I was a device driver developer with 2 years relevant experience I had got calls from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to crack the interviews back then.

Is it a good idea to rebrand myself as a device driver developer so that I can get calls again?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
